OneFootball’s visions is to reinvent how live and on-demand content is consumed and monetized, serving as a new distribution channel for broadcasters and OTT streamers around the world: an innovative, interactive streaming product and watch experience in the front-end combined with state-of-the-art advertising technology and security stack in the back-end. With the expectations and consumption preferences of the new generation of fans in mind, we introduced products such as single-game pay-per-view offerings and team/league season passes, seamlessly embedded in the all-in-one, hyper-personalized digital football media experience of OneFootball, including but not limited to breaking news, stats and scores, videos, daily fantasy, or digital collectibles.
Leveraging such tools, combined with tapping into the built-in audience on OneFootball, third-party content owners have been empowered to finally engage and monetize a difficult-to-reach, fickle segment of the market.
Do you believe in building the “YouTube of Football”, and the power of strategic partnerships and directly accessing as well as speaking to 175M+ football fans worldwide to transform sports video consumption in the digital age? For this immensely growing business, we are looking for a passionate, self-driven, and analytical person to support the OTT Business Team, with core-market responsibility and end-to-end involvement from content acquisition, to commercial strategy and cross-functional implementation, as well as key account management.
The position will join an ambitious team of other market and project leaders, report to the Head of OTT, and work cross-functionally with a wide array of other functional teams at OneFootball. You will be responsible for identifying and delivering the local go-to-market B2B and B2C strategy to create value for the OTT and broader OneFootball business. Other multi-faceted projects in a global environment and along the entire sports broadcasting value chain complement the core-market responsibility.
For this immensely growing business, we are looking for a passionate and analytical person to strengthen the business development team.

- Cross-functional Market Operations: Driving alignment and execution across internal teams involved in the OTT business (e.g. Performance Marketing, Brand & PR, Sales, Newsroom, Streaming Operations) by owning financial and non-financial market targets and results in a fast-growing, multinational digital company.
